Die Casting Process:

The die casting process involves several steps including mold design, metal preparation, injection, casting, and finishing.

1. Mold Design：The first step in the die casting process is to make the mold. This mold is usually made of steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of the die casting process.

   Mold design starts with developing a CAD design of the desired mold. This design is then processed through CNC machining to create the mold and further used in the casting process.

2. Metal Preparation：The next step is to prepare the metal for injection. This metal is usually an alloy such as aluminum, magnesium, or zinc. The metal is melted in a furnace and then poured into a ladle.

3. Injection Process：When the metal becomes liquid, it is injected into the mold under high pressure. The molten metal fills the mold cavity and cools to form the desired shape.

4. Casting Process：After the metal cools and hardens, the mold is opened and the part is removed. Make sure the part is completely cooled before handling to avoid any potential damage.

5. Finishing Process：The last step in the process is to finish the part. Surface finishing plays a vital role in die casting as it affects the durability and functionality of the part. Standard finishing processes include anodizing, powder coating, wet plating, etc.

Description:

Lamp accessories such as cast aluminum lampshades are a kind of electrical housing, whose function is to protect the internal light-emitting unit and other electronic components from damage by harmful external factors. In addition, cast aluminum lampshades also have the same protection requirements as electrical housings. However, in addition to the above functions, the lampshade should also give people an aesthetic feeling, which makes it slightly different from the electrical housing. In short, the design of lamp accessories such as lampshades should not only meet the practicality of the electrical housing, but also consider the aesthetics of the lamp.

Advantages of die casting:

• Lightweight: Cast aluminum parts are typically one-third lighter than steel parts, while still having the strength and durability necessary for any lighting fixture.

• Corrosion resistance: Cast aluminum parts naturally have excellent corrosion resistance, which is essential for lighting fixtures used outdoors.

• Excellent conductivity: Aluminum's conductivity is second only to copper.

• Easy surface treatment: Cast aluminum parts can undergo a variety of surface treatments, including painting, powder coating, electroplating, anodizing, etc.

• Easy to process: Cast aluminum parts have excellent machinability, and the surface roughness can reach Ra0.8 or above.

• Easy to form: Cast aluminum parts can be processed into a variety of shapes to meet the aesthetic requirements of lighting fixtures
